Mirza's crime? I guess she just looked way too hot in that tennis outfit. I've posted a Sania Mirza image gallery below. For a tennis player, her outfits aren't all that revealing at all.
The fatwa - in effect, a demand that she cover up - was issued by a senior cleric of the Sunni Ulema Board, a little-known group. Similar fatwas have been issued against Mirza, who comes from a devout Muslim family, but none has ever gained popular support among India's 130 million Muslims.Hat tip to Greg at Rhymes With Right who has more as well as a blog roundup."The dress she wears on the tennis courts…leaves nothing to the imagination," Haseeb-ul-hasan Siddiqui told The Hindustan Times. "She will undoubtedly be a corrupting influence."
He said she should follow the example of Iranian women who wore long tunics and headscarves to play in the Asian Badminton Championships.

Might the iman have found her picture in his son's room?
Might the iman's daughter tell him that she wants to be just like her when she grows up?
Does anyone believe that these insaniacs will stop once all the muslim women are covered up?

Her crime is wearing a shirt that shows she has boobies? Yeesh. I'm sure all the left-wing feminists in the USA will be up in arms about this fatwa, right?

Pull up that skirt and I bet she has a bright red ass like a baboon

I had to share that with others in the office. I'm still laughing.

Hate to burst your bubble about all tennis players being hot, but I have two words for you, Rusty: Martina Navratalova. If she's not man enough for you, how about Billy Jean King?
And if that guy thinks Mirza's leaving nothing to the imagination, he needs a better imagination, or maybe a trip to Hooters.
